Description/Abstract | Section 107.^(a) (2) of the Clean Air Act, as amended by the Air Quality Act of 1967, directs the Secretary, HEW, to designate Air Quality Control Regions for the purpose of establishing ambient air quality standards required in subsequent sections of the Act.^The Section stipulates that the Regions are to be designated on the basis of jurisdictional boundaries, urban-industrial concentrations, and other factors necessary to provide adequate implementation of air quality standards, and further that, to the extent feasible, the designations are to be completed within 18 months of enactment.^In view of the direct impact that region designations will have on state and local control programs, this paper gives a status report on the steps taken by the National Air Control Administration to implement this Section in the 7 months since the Air Quality Act was signed.^It discusses the procedural aspects of the Administration`s approach, emphasizing Administration`s policy and the involvement of state and local entities in the development of region designations.^The designation of Air Quality Control Regions is related to other steps required by the Act, especially those involving state and local governments. |
